NHS 119 is available in British Sign Language (BSL) for Covid-19 tests and vaccinations.

NHS 119 BSL is available for all enquiries relating to: 

  • making an appointment to attend for a test, 
  • enquiring about test results, 
  • arranging delivery and collection of a home test kit,
  • making an appointment for a Covid-19 vaccination,
  • and communicating with staff at Covid-19 vaccination centres.

For vaccination appointments: you will be asked questions to assess whether you are eligible for a vaccination, and if so, be given an appointment to attend for the vaccination.

This exactly matches the services that 119 provides for hearing people.
